  "details": "### Summary\nIn `openclaw` versions up to and including `2026.2.22-2`, a non-default exec-approval configuration could allow a skill-name collision to bypass an `ask=on-miss` prompt.\n\nWhen `autoAllowSkills=true`, a path-scoped executable such as `./skill-bin` could resolve to basename `skill-bin`, satisfy the `skills` allowlist segment, and run without prompting for approval.\n\n### Affected Packages / Versions\n- Package: `npm openclaw`\n- Affected versions: `\u003c= 2026.2.22-2`\n- Patched versions: `\u003e= 2026.2.23` (released)\n\n### Configuration Scope (Not Default)\nThis behavior requires non-default settings and does not affect default installs.\n\nRequired conditions:\n- `autoAllowSkills=true` (default is `false`)\n- `system.run` with `security=allowlist`\n- `ask=on-miss`\n\n### Technical Details\nThe allowlist evaluator accepted `skills` satisfaction by bin-name match, so `./skill-bin` could match `skillBins.has(\"skill-bin\")` after resolution.\n\nThe fix hardens skill auto-allow matching by requiring:\n- a pathless invocation token (no `/` or `\\\\`), and\n- a trusted resolved executable path for that skill bin on the machine where skills run.\n\nThis preserves normal `skill-bin ...` behavior while preventing `./\u003cskill-bin\u003e` and absolute-path basename collisions from auto-satisfying `skills`.\n\n### Impact\nIn affected non-default configurations, approval prompts could be skipped for commands that should have required operator confirmation.\n\n### Fix Commit(s)\n- `ffd63b7a2c4c6d5aeb4710ef951d5794ad7ad77b` (`fix(security): trust resolved skill-bin paths in allowlist auto-allow`)\n\nOpenClaw thanks @tdjackey for reporting.",
